The Beaux Arts Village Town Council on Jan. 13 adopted Resolution No. 344 to increase the town's water base fee from $100 to $135, effective Jan. 1, 2026. Councilmember Tom Stowe moved to pass the resolution and Councilmember Brad Wheeler seconded; the motion passed 4 For, 0 Against, 0 Abstain.
The adopted change leaves the volume-based charge unchanged at $1.50 per 100 cubic feet beyond the 500-cubic-foot base allowance. Council members said the increase is intended to fund critical repairs to water-system infrastructure that had been identified in prior reviews. The decision was presented as a means to secure operating funds rather than a reallocation of existing general-fund resources.
